I got dumb ass females talking about black people shouldn't wear Bathing Ape anymore (:snoop:) or Tommy Hilfiger (that damn hoax will never go away) because of this ad then and how they still gonna shop at H&M. I'm about to play Nas "Black Girl Lost". :mjcry:

My opinion on this is that it was done in poor taste and was coincidence. If you ignore the racial connotation its not really nothing crazy to see a little kid rocking a hoodie like that. I'm not a monkey and I don't associate black people with monkeys (I get the history) so its just a dumb ass kids hoodie to me. What if the model was white and black mothers bought the hoodie for their child? I don't think H&M would deliberately do some racist shyt and its been blown out of proportion, a P.R. blunder. :hubie:

The outrage for this is gassed tho.

thats completely fine.. its also completely fine to ask why Blacks folks would support anything Swedish..

its ok to not know its historically a racist place.. its plain idiotic to assume someones "out of touch", for knowing & not supporting though..

This is tryhard. How many people are even aware of where the cheap brands they buy originated? People shop at places like H&M, Forever 21, American Eagle, etc for the look and price. Nobody's trying to be the next brand ambassador.

And I really dgaf how you want to frame it, it's still VERY out of touch to have never heard of the brand. It is what it is.

Good. I don't know much about the Weeknd outside of his (usually excellent) music but I love to see people with a platform speak up on racism and bullshyt.



Whose man is this?

Why does he feel the need to interject his uninformed opinion into conversations within the black community?

1st of all, I probably have more authority to speak on this than your bytch ass does.

Secondly, just in case you lack 1st grade level reading comprehension, my comment pertains to the general Coli consensus whenever something likes this happens and not to the Black community at large.

White people just can't help themselves. I know the conservative redpill fags will spew garbage like "Race baiter", "PC" and etc. LOL these truther guys really think that they are solving the issue by being straight up controverts, deflectors and arseholes.
